Rivers And Creeks

 
      C                                 Em 
Well, all them girls were talking 'bout 
      G 
All their boys walking with their big chests 
             D 
And prideful mouths 
      C                        Em 
Had a friend in Cincinnati who died with a 
G                  D 
Six-shooter taped to the roof of his mouth 
           C                         Em 
'Cause his girl was making love to a man 
G                         D 
Who'll never give her what she needs 
       C                          Em 
Like a shark in the middle of the big Pacific 
G                         D 
She'll eat anything that fucking bleeds 
 

 
             C                   G 
When it gets cold, your love, it comes and goes 
D                            Em 
Grows with the vines and the trees 

             C               G 
Hate that it grows inside my lungs 
        D                    Em 
Freezes up on the rivers and creeks 
             C                G 
When it gets hot, you're not around 
      D                       Em 
Go to town to get a different lover 
                C                         G 
Deep within the shaking, earthquaking California summer 
      D                   Em 
Oh, I pray you'll never find another

        C                           Em 
Well, I flew across the ocean, just humbly hoping 
G                        D 
I would make it to the other side 
            C                            Em 
'Cause them boots of Spanish leather are 
        G 
Only worn better when there's someone wearing 
         D 
Down the hide 
             C                 Em 
When there's nowhere to go and nowhere to call home 
G                  D 
I hope you swim on back someday 
       C                                  Em 
As the sharks eat all the hearts that are 
G                      D 
Fallin' in love in San Francisco Bay 
 

 
             C                   G 
When it gets cold, your love, it comes and goes 
D                            Em 
Grows with the vines and the trees 
             C               G 
Hate that it grows inside my lungs 
        D                    Em 
Freezes up on the rivers and creeks 
             C                G 
When it gets hot, you're not around 
      D                       Em

                C                         G 
Deep within the shaking, earthquaking California summer 
      D                   Em       C 
Oh, I pray you'll never find another
